I’ve always been fascinated by cycles in nature: things that come and go at regular or irregular intervals. Spring turns into summer that turns into autumn that turns into winter. Changes have been hard for me to accept and have made up a significant part of my fears. At the same time I feel really comfortable when thinking about the fact that nothing is static. All we can know about our lives and the world is that nothing stays the same and that both our bodies and minds one day will resolve and maybe, or maybe not re-emerge as something else. The thought is equally frightening and comfortable. Even in my happy and delighted moments I feel safe knowing that the world has never revolved around me. I, like any other pine needle or ant consist of mostly hydrogen, oxygen and carbon - no more or less remarkable than a flower in the spring or a dead dragonfly on a moss bed in September.

In this photo series, where I let human bodies interact with and in nature, make my thoughts wander to many different places. I’ve always been the worrying kind: worrying about the future and the past, worrying about sickness, death and existential issues. What is my place in the world? How do I live my life in the best way possible? How do I live to never hurt anyone or let anybody down, and how do I at the same time respect myself in these kinds of efforts?

While photographing these series I work intuitively. I seldom have a clear plan when I go out with my camera. The landscape I end up in determines the final result.
Often, I combine the landscape and the bodies and blend them together to a double exposure. In other photographs I try to let the body and its surroundings communicate with each other as two different narratives - I feel a still, genuine conversation between two equivalent creatures knowing each others’ language and manners.
